摘要

Two new species of Onthophagus Latreille, 1802 are described from Indochina: O. (Sunenaga) streltsovi sp. n. and O. (Sinonthophagus) nampatensis sp. n. Some problems with the current systematics of Onthophagus, especially with respect to the subgeneraSerrophorus, Sunenaga and Macronthophagus are discussed. The globally distributed genus Onthophagus Latreille, 1802, which includes about 2000 species, is a mega-diverse group of scarab beetles. The diversity of this genus in the Oriental biogeographicregion is very rich, second only to the diversity of the Afrotropical region. Despite the increasing number of described species during recent years, the Oriental Onthophagus are still poorly studied. In this paper, two new species of Onthophagus are described. One of the new species, O. streltsovi, has a combination of morphological characters that indicates its position in either the subgenus Serrophorus Balthasar, 1963 or Sunenaga Ochi, 2003 but cannot be unequivocally placed in either based on the currently accepted taxonomic definitions of these subgenera. Tentatively, this species is placed in the subgenus Sunenaga, but the problems associated with this decision are discussed at length. These problems stem from the fact that the current subgeneric classification of the genus seems to be poorly developed and sometimes artificial, not monophyly based. The majority of specimens used for the descriptions of the new species were collected by one of us (S.T.) in Laos in 2007-2008.
